A violent Norris Green drug addict was jailed for four months after shattering his terrified partner’s car windshield and biting a police officer.

Graham Roy Ashe, 28, pleaded guilty to criminal damage, one charge of assaulting a police officer and one charge of resisting a police officer at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court today.

Ashe, of Haselbeech Crescent, appeared to be under the influence of drugs when he struggled violently with police and sunk his teeth into an officer’s shoulder.

The court heard he had a “lengthy record” for violence including convictions for attacking the complainant, who is the mother of his one-year-old daughter.

Michael Cain, prosecuting, said she awoke on the morning of May 23 to a number of missed calls from Ashe.

The baby girl had stayed at the victim’s mother’s address, but at 1.30pm Ashe turned up at the house and went upstairs to look for his daughter, before demanding that the victim drive to her mum’s and pick her up.

Mr Cain said: “She didn’t want to challenge the defendant so she complied with the request and got into her car.

“Moments later the defendant came out from inside the house, climbed on the bonnet and kicked the windshield with sufficient force to cause the glass to shatter. He then went back inside the house.”

'Sorry for arguing with you'

The victim called the police but Ashe fled the scene.

The court heard she came home a few days later to find an envelope had been pushed through the letterbox containing £70 and a note saying: “I’m sorry for arguing with you, I love you and the baby.”

She then retracted her statement, but police were called to reports of a domestic disturbance on May 29.

They found Ashe and the victim at her address, and were told he was refusing to leave.

Mr Cain said despite the fact the officers were in full uniform Ashe was screaming that they show ID, and resisted when they placed him under arrest.

The court heard in the ensuing struggle he “lashed out with his head, arms and legs,” before biting one officer, causing teeth marks on his skin.

Malcolm Gregg, prosecuting, told the court the pair had reunited since the incident and had been to a GP together to discuss the defendant’s “mood swings”. The court also heard he had issues with misuse of Class A drugs.

District Judge Wendy Lloyd, passing sentence, said: “The worrying thing about this incident of domestic violence is the bizarre and strange nature of it.

“She was not injured but very easily could have been by flying glass. It was bizarre and it was dangerous.

“The police officers came to arrest you and you behaviour on that occasion was extremely worrying. The officer you bit would have been very frightened and he didn’t know when it was going to stop.”
